Wild West Online is gearing up for its first alpha test this weekend, which means alpha invites will begin going out soon. How soon? Today. Insert your terrible cowboy puns here!

“The alpha is coming fast and the download keys for Wild West Online shall go out tomorrow (the 14th of September) afternoon PST. Watch your inboxes and get ready to saddle up. Looking forward to seeing you all out on the plains!”

The game isn’t behind much of an NDA; in fact, testers will be able to stream it, provided they repeat about a million times the disclaimer that it’s not finished, it’s an alpha, things will change, the usual.
